Abubakar added that the recovery of the illegal firearms followed the Inspector-General’s directive that individuals and groups in possession of prohibited arms should surrender.
Abubakar stressed that all 36 commands including FCT were directed to constitute Joint Task Enforcement team, apparently to mop- up places believed to be criminal hideout for seizure.

The police spokesman hinted that about 702 live ammunitions were also recovered from the suspected persons including those that voluntarily surrendered their firearms
